The scientific usage of the word theory is different than the common usage. A scientific theory is something that is the best possible explanation for events we have currently.
Belief in God or a higher power requires faith not evidence. There is physical evidence for evolution and not for God. The so called "evidence" for God requires faith and interpretation, while nothing is wrong with that, it cannot be taught in schools. It would be a violation of the separation of church and state. Evolutionary theory is not associated with a religion, but the scientific community. That is why it is taught in SCIENCE classes.
Should public schools be allowed to teach the theory of evolution when they can't teach the students about GOD and other theory's?

To the response of ignorant Metaldane below:
Wrong: Up until the 1960's God was very much a part of our schools. We prayed when I went to school and we could discuss God. We even had over 500 kids in the choir room singing Christian music and prayer before class on Thursday mornings along with teachers in our Public School. As a result of that we didn't have a drug problem in our school we barely had but a few that were even accused of drinking on school grounds and the only one pregnancy of a couple that got married and the pregnancy was one week before they graduated and they are still married 40 years later, and as a class we are close. In fact the class above us just had their reunion this past weekend and we talked about our Bible studies in school and how much it help to have friends around to talk to about our teen life.
You are ignorant because you have been raised in a Revisionist school environment but you are too ignorant to find out the truth of what the founders wanted. That is the saddest state of affairs in this country and since the 60's the educational system is skyrocketing...

Without God in this Country you wouldn't have the freedoms you have as it was God that our Founders based our countries foundation. Our very form of Government comes from inspiration out of the Bible. Best do your homework before spouting off.
